Fathom Repro Playfield arrived today !
« on: August 03, 2009, 11:01:24 PM »

Its been worth the long wait. My playfield arrived with the plastics set and a Medusa plastics set. It is an awesome job by the guys at CPR.

It's in my study next to my KISS repro playfield. They look awesome next to each other.

I'm really pleased with the playfield. The colors are really beautiful and it really brings out the artwork behind a very shiny clearcoat.

Stay tuned for the resto thread. Have to wait around 45 days  #@#

Such a great looking playfield!

Do you mind if I ask how much it cost to send via UPS?

Nice playfield Nino,

It just oozes serenity.

I'd probably be tempted to hang it just like that because it looks so good.
Its every bit as good ,if not better than a Rembrandt or Piccasso.

Possibly clearcoat to fully harden? or squeeze in another resto %$%

By the way Nino, what an amazing playfield.

Very nice playfield as in artwork.

Did they leave any instructions about leaving it in the box or do they say to open it up and let it get some air flow to cure better.Just saves me opening it up.

Cheers

Thanks guys - It AMAZING to look at !

45 Days - It takes 30 - 45 days to completely harden. I can install all the hardware, but there are strict instructions not to play on it for at least 30 days. The instructions also specify that the playfield be removed from the packaging as soon as I receive it (which I've done).

The resto itself will be started as soon as a few other projects are out the way  #@#

Great stuff, thanks for posting the pictures Nino.  The colors are terrific.  Looks like they did a great job with this one!

Bet you can't wait to get into this restoration? 

Did anyone see the repro Fathom plastics auction end on Sunday night.... complete set, auction ended at.... $64  ^&^

Looking foward to getting my Fathom playfield later in the year.  Thanks for the sneek preview.

That Fathom playfield looks sensational.

Something special about opening a package with a new playfield - done this a couple of times (AFM & FH) - almost as exciting as opening a box with a new pin! Well, even better sometimes as you don't usually buy a new field except for your most-loved games.

That is a nice looking playfield from all aspects. But I kinda notice a definite lean towards the big tit chick theme. Is it just my imagination Nino??

This is great art work!  IMO every pinball should have good art work, this makes them much more collectable.
